If your friend or beloved is a tiger type and he/she wants you to take his/her side against the bad guys, you most likely will do it. As lovers, tiger people are passionate and romantic, but the real challenge for them is to grasp the true meaning of moderation.

Tiger Career

Because of the fact that people born in this year are urgent creatures and always in a hurry to get things done right, they usually choose to operate alone. Tigers like to work; they are hard-working and dynamic by nature. If you assign a task to a Tiger, the job will be undertaken and accomplished with enthusiasm and efficiency. Optimism, determination and initiative are their strong points. While some projects may succeed because tiger has the drive to see them through to the end, the other will be left in a half – way because of the tiger’s inability to deal well with failure. Tiger person becomes flustered when colleagues discover that he/she have misjudged situation

In spite of his/her enormous energy and commitment, tiger person must be able to sustain his/her optimism and drive or he/she could dissipate his/her efforts.

One of the most important ingredient in a partnership with this type is always to be focused on an objective.

Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger’s main interest is in following its ambitions — and maintaining control.

Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom. Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that’s extremely attractive to other Signs. They’re not just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline.

A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. This Sign’s bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover.

A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is moderation in all things. Once these cats can find their center and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposed to racing through life), they will accomplish much.

Aquarius About Your Sign…

Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to “Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes,” and are prepared to learn from everyone.

Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.

They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these with the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research to fulfill their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind. When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health.

Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama.

In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to them.

They do not give themselves easily – perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that – and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life. However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not forgive.

Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them. They have a feeling of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. They may excel in photography, radiography, electronics – anything connected with the electrical and radio industries – aviation and everything technical. On the arts and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare workers and teachers. Some have gifts as entertainers and make good character actors (having an ability to mimic) and musicians. The more psychic among them possess healing gifts, especially in curing the mentally sick.

Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in their opinions. Aquarians can be a threat to all they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances – for example, continuous opposition to a cause they hold dear – may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one of the Aquarian’s most attractive traits. They may express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind.

Aquarius ‘The Water Bearer’ is the second last sign of the zodiac. An Aquarian lives in the real world, but he will talk about the future. He is very kind and peace loving, but likes going against the conventions every now and then. Usually, he is very soft spoken, but can surprise you by passing very offhanded remarks and statements. Every second person on this earth is his friend and he uses the term ‘friend’ very often. Every new thing interests an Aquarius, be it the new person at office, the new book at store or the new bartender at his usual pub.

He loves to experiment, to explore. His next interest may be you and he will start dissecting you under the microscopic eyes. Then, just as you begin to think that you are the most important interest in his life, he will turn away, find something new and will be busy exploring again. You will be left all embarrassed and fuming. If you are someone who has an ego, it’s better to be miles away from an Aquarius person. His eyes will always have an unclear, distant look. His personality traits include obstinacy, creativity, vanity and a love for freedom.

On the other hand, his characteristics profile also comprises of humor, diplomacy, kindness, compassion and coyness. One moment, he will be surrounded by a crowd, immersing himself in the security of so many friends. However, soon he will feel extremely lonely and will want to be left alone. Whether he is gay or gloomy, one thing is for sure; an Aquarian will always be analyzing the people around him. In the process, he may ask you the most personal questions, without even batting an eyelid.

Even though Aquarians have numerous friends, they don’t have many close buddies. They are most interested in quantity and their friendships seldom last the entire life. Being steady in one relationship is not an Aquarian’s cup of tea. There is always so much to discover, how can he remain tied to a few people only. However, if you do manage to touch his heart, he may come back to see what he failed to notice earlier. He lives in the future and people find it very difficult to cope up with him.

This brings a sense of isolation from the rest of the world. An Aquarian is a genius, if he does not cross the line separating it from eccentricity. His personality is the perfect symbol of an odd mix of frostiness, realism and unconventional volatility. He is a friend to anyone and everyone. Though he has his bouts of solitude, he will soon be back to his normal self again. Just remember not to disturb him when he wants to be alone. Ignore him and he will come back again, all happy and cheerful.

Aquarians dislike commitments of any kind. However, once they have made it, they will stick to it fully. They give their opinion very frankly, but never ever try to force them on anyone. In return, don’t every dictate how they should live their life. They respect individuality and expect the same from you. An Aquarian is not a crusader and will rarely be fighting for a cause. He believes in revolution, but lets other people do the work required for bringing about the same. Once an Aquarian has made up his mind, it is difficult to move him.

He is full of shocks and surprises and will hardly let you know what his motives are. He doesn’t trust people easily, not until he has scrutinized each and every aspect of their personality. However, once he trusts you and makes you his friend, nobody in this world can sway him against you. An Aquarian has an extremely good concentration power. Even though it looks as if he is not even listening to you, he will know each and every word you said. He doesn’t have a good memory, but he seems to know everything that is to be remembered.

Aquarians have an amazing sixth sense and their intuition is very strong. They can also know your innermost desires, without even having a word with you. They can convey their thoughts as easily too. An Aquarian loves changes in everything, except his own personality. He also hates dishonesty and trickery, as much as he dislikes borrowing and lending money. However, he may, at times, fool you in completely harmless and subtle ways. In case he lends you something, be sure to give it back to him on the said time and date.

An Aquarian is not the one to take a broken promise or bad debt easily. He keeps his word and pays his dues on time, so, why can’t you. Accepting conventions and authority is beyond him, but he will respect them nonetheless. He loves freedom and pinning him down is a task that most of the people cannot accomplish. An Aquarian is far ahead of you, but still it is advisable to try to catch him. Your success cannot be guaranteed, but you will surely come out a little wiser in the process.Credits: http://www.iloveindia.com/astrology/sun-signs/aquarius/index.html
